Welcome to Sher's Kindle Bookshelf

Welcome to Sher's Kindle Bookshelf! This blog is devoted to sharing ebooks with from my Kindle bookshelf with you. These ebooks are all available on Amazon's Kindle Store--some of them are free, while others are paid.

I fell in love with the Kindle about three years ago, when my daughter gave me one as a birthday present. What a wonderful to gift! I have the (now old) Kindle 2 with keyboard and 3G connectivity. The Kindle has been with along most everywhere I travel and has added to my expat life in a huge way.

I'm an American expat living in the Czech Republic. It's possible to find books in English here, but they are very expensive. Ordering books can also be costly. The Kindle is perfect, as I can download books in English for a very small charge or free. This way I never run out of reading material. There is a virtual library on my Kindle!

Amazon offers an entire family of Kindle readers and tablets. Not only do they offer ereaders and tablets, but Amazon also offers a Kindle Reader app for the iPad, iPod, iPhone and Mac computers. The Kindle reader app is also available for Android devices. The Kindle apps have a great set of features, but one of my favorites is the sync feature that allows you to read an ebook on multiple devices and pick up right where you left off. For instance, say you're reading Moby Dick and are on section 1000-1076. If you have the app installed on another device all you have to do is ask the app to sync at that position, and then go to your other device, hit sync and begin reading right where you left off. This is a nice feature when you have multiple gizmos you use as ereaders.

The Kindle family and Kindle apps really do make it easy to read anywhere, at any time. The ereaders and tablets are just the right size to throw into your backpack, purse or briefcase. You can take an entire library with you wherever you go.

As you can see, I'm completely "in love" with my Kindle! It has been a wonderful addition to my life. The Kindle comes in many different price points, making it an accessible gizmos for most people. You never have to be without a book again!
